NOTICE:
No need to tap the trimmer head to release
the cutting line. If you feel a slight tremor of the trimmer
head when trimming the grass, it is the cutting line being
automatically released.
WARNING:
Do not remove or alter the line-cutting
blade assembly. Excessive line length will cause the motor
to overheat and may result in serious personal injury.
LINE REPLACEMENT
NOTICE:
Only use the EGO nylon cutting line with
diameter 2.4mm. Using line other than that specified may
cause the line trimmer to overheat or become damaged.
WARNING: Never use metal-reinforced line,
wire, or rope, etc. These can break off and become
dangerous projectiles.
The line trimmer is equipped with an advanced
POWERLOAD system. The cutting line can be
TM
wound into the spool simply by pressing a single
button. Loading a full spool can usually be completed
in 15 seconds. Avoid repeated operation of the
winding system in rapid succession to reduce the
possibility of motor damage.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Cut 5 m long cutting line. Insert the line into the
eyelet (Fig. F). Push and pull the line from the other
side until equal amounts of the line appear on both
sides of the trimmer head.
NOTICE:
If the line cannot be inserted into the eyelet
when the lower cover is stuck, install the battery pack
onto the power head, then press the line-loading button
briefly to reset the lower cover.
3. Remove the battery pack if it has been installed
onto the power head in the NOTICE after step 2. And
follow the steps specified in step 2 to reinsert and
align the cutting line.
4. Install the battery pack onto the power head.
5. Press and hold the line-loading button to wind
the line into the trimmer head continuously until
approximately 15 cm of the line is showing on each
side (Fig. G).
NOTICE:
In case the line is pulled into the trimmer head
by accident, open the head and pull the cutting line out
from the spool. Follow the section "RELOADING THE
CUTTING LINE" in this manual to reload the line.
